History
The band started out performing under the name Jar. They released two CDs under that name, including Knott Skull in 1998.
Because there was more than one other band with the same name, the band members decided to rename their group Flybanger. They released a five track EP titled Outlived in 2000.
In 2001 the band released an album, Headtrip to Nowhere, as Flybanger through Sony Music in 2001. Playing and the album were singer Garth Allen, guitarist Bryan Fratesi, Tom Macdonald on bass and Rob Wade on drums.The singles released from Headtrip To Nowhere were "Cavalry", "Radical" and "Blind World". The latter was also used on the soundtrack for the motion picture Dracula 2000.
The band toured in support of the album
In 2003 the band broke up. In 2005, Rob Wade (drums) and Garth Allen (vocals) joined Kill Rhythm, a band started by Rob Thiessen (formerly of Noise Therapy). In March 2009, following the breakup of Kill Rhythm, both Wade and Allen turned their focus to the heavy acoustic rock project, Thick Of It.
In 2013, the band released an album under their original name of Jar containing re-recordings of several of their older songs.
